Houdini Pee

I have seen some crazy things in the two years we have been parents of Triplets. And I have seen some REAL crazy things during the last seven months as a stay at home Dad of Triplets. But I have a real conundrum. I went up to wake the kids from their nap earlier this week (OK, they had been awake for a while talking, wiping spit on the walls and throwing things out of their cribs) when I discovered that Jackson was soaked on one side of his body from his groin to his underarm. No biggie I thought, he just overloaded the diaper. But the diaper was not very wet. Believe me, I have seen some that I thought would explode (OK, some actually did explode.)

Aha, you think he pulled his diaper down... But he was in a jumper with the crotch buttoned. And yes, his manhood was pointing down in the diaper:) Oh well, it is better than the time he pulled off the dirty diaper and then screamed at it:)

The CFO is the crazy one that puts them all in the tub together:) Jackson sporting a bubble beard.

I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them. Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)

Why I stay at home with three year old Triplets....

#1 We always said we did not want to have a child (who knew we would have three) just to let someone else raise them. Here are some other reasons that I no longer work "outside the house."

I don't want someone else putting their morals and values on our kids.

They may not do as I ask but... Just try putting an employee in the corner for time out

I am now virtually guaranteed a nap most days.

The Triplets may cry, hit and bite but... You can't make most employees happy by turning on Sesame StreetI know this sounds SWEET but keep in mind....

There are NO days offYou get NO sick daysYou work weekends12+ hour daysYou cannot fire a child, you can an employee:)

My background

I worked in Corporate America for 14 years then everything changed with the birth of triplets in 2006; Jackson, Addison, and William. After having a GREAT Nanny while living in TX I decided to stay at home with the kids after my wife received a promotion to Birmingham, Alabama. I have not regretted the decision one day.
